I thought about what you meant to me
And how it was easier when I knew nothing
And how it didn't hurt
When I was blind to see
All the things that you've been keeping from me

So I'll sit here on my own
Wishing that I would? ve known
You'd create this kind of storm
And I'd be, perfectly okay if you
Didn't leave

Why couldn't you just, lie to me
Tell me she'd never mean more then me
And when I ran, you could've slow me down
And said, everything you never meant
I don't care if it's pretend
I don't need to know what's really in your head
So instead, please, just lie to me

I can't stop
Thinking about what could've happened
If we hadn't given up on each other
What would've happened if
You didn't fall in love with her
I wouldn't have to miss you at all
Why couldn't you just, lie to me
Tell me she'd never mean more then me
And when I ran, you could? ve slow me down
And said, everything you never meant
I don't care if it's pretend
I don't need to know what's really in your head
So instead, please, just lie to me

And I know it sounds crazy, that you'd think it hurt worse
But you can't get burned my something you haven't heard
And I wish, I, never learned, about her

Why couldn't you just, lie to me
Tell me she'd never mean more then me
And when I ran, you could've slow me down
And said, everything you never meant
I don't care if it's pretend
I don't need to know what's really in your head
So instead, please, just lie to me
Lie to me?
